Hi, all. Finally figured out how to get qdvdauthor to complete the processing of my slideshow. When photos are brought in to qdvdauthor, chapters are generated automatically. If you have a lot of photos, you get a lot of chapters. This is what was causing dvdauthor to choke with the to many pre/post/cell commands errors. You could go into the dvdauthor.xml file and delete the chapters, or you can right click on the 'slideshow".vob file in qdvdauthor to get to the properties dialog and delete them from there. My project has 3 - slideshows that are launched from buttons. Works great. One minor problem is that when the button is highlighted, the button text is masked out. Hopefully the developer will take care of this shortly. He seems to be actively working on the project. I just downloaded the latest CVS tarball, which was generated last night. BTW: I view my xml files with Teddy, a nifty little QT based xml editor.
